Can Javelins be thrown multiple range bands? Currently it says Short. But would it be permissible as -2 C at 2x Short, -4 C at 3x Short?

When a player rolls a power attack "1" with Hammering Blow the opposite figure gets an extra free hack. This free hack happens before the main melee result.

I may have missed this in the rules, but what happens if the Free Hack result is a recoil? Does the proper melee result become void? If the Melee result as a recoil, does that translate into a knockdown?

I need the playtesters names (in the way they want them to appear in print, so yes you can choose an alias if you prefer) for the credits page of the book. Please let me know here so I do not miss anyone who contributed. Basically, if you have posted on these pages and tried these rulòes or commented, caught typos etc, you should be thanked in the book...

it seems our design for the sporelings wasn't too far from reality

I altered a bit the Trample text:

Trample
Whenever a model with Trample knocks down a foe, it performs an additional free hack against him. The free hack is at +2 as normal for all attacks on prone foes, and counts even if the Trampler is prone. If the model has still movement available, he may continue its movement after knocking down the foe, without receiving any free hacks for leaving a melee.

I am not sure if it was an intent or not, but the "Flail" trait is missing, though referenced both in text and profiles.

The PDF is 99% done and ready- just drop me a mail to andreasfiligoi@gmail.com and I'll forward you a copy.

I will find an external proofreader once we know all the rules are in place but with many extra set of eyes from you playtesters we can probably catch any mistakes or oversight I have undoubtedly added in my last edits.

Things to keep in mind as you go through this:

any typos or glaring grammar errors?
Did I forget to update some rule we discussed on the forum?
Is there any profile...

Should block/expert block work vs concentrated fire? As high CF could possibly cause a gruesome kill and block would not protect from that, it creates an interesting dynamic. But I find it hard to visualize the character sweeping away all the enemy arrows with one swipe of his shield.
What do you say?

Can Boiling Blood be used in a reaction? And how long does it last in general - until the turnover, or until the last action(reaction) of the character?

This is how I fixed the "what is an unarmed model" conundrum. Since we have abilities that disarm, we needed to clarify which attack forms are weapon based. What do you say?

Unarmed Models
If a model is disarmed, reduce his C by 1 in melee only and ignore any Trait based on his weapon until he spends one action recovering the weapon. Weapon-based traits are marked by a (W) in the trait’s name. Note that an unarmed model with a martial arts traits (marked with a MA in the Trait’s...

After much work, thoughts, comments etc:

no bolt on rules - armor and shields are represented by traits. You want them, you take them, you do not want them, fine.

we have ONE level of armor, we will call it Heavily Armored. Lower levels of armor are assumed to be reflected by the figure's C score.

A Heavily Armored figure adds +1 to his C roll after the roll, when losing a combat. If this changes his being doubled, tripled, etc, it means that the armor has stopped the blow. In no case the...

I'm not sure if this forum, rather than the Yahoo group, is the correct place to post this, but as it arose from the discussion about the Savage rule in FiFu, I'll post it here for now (apologies if it's out of place).

With Savage now a personality rule in FiFu, I wonder if there's room in the game (SBH variants generally, rather than FiFu specifically) for a non-personality Fearsome rule. I like the Savage rule as a means of differentiating monstrous troops (big orcs, beastmen, etc.) from...

Should a model with a disarming ability be allowed to disarm shooters? I can see the point of breaking an opponent's bow or knocking his throwing spear/javelin off his hands.

Guys
I have uploaded a work in progress PDF with most of the amendments discussed so far. If I understand how gdrive works, you should be able to download it from the original link as it has the same name. If not, please drop me a mail at andreasfiligoi@gmail.com and I'll share it again

Fungus King - Personality
Points:90 Quality:4 Combat:5
Big, Bludgeon, Leader, Short Move, Tough

What do you say? Is it unplayable?
I see it as a strong, near invulnerable, but slow figure - very hard to bring down but also quite ineffective when speed is needed.

Eilara Kay - Personality
Points 164 Quality 3+ Combat 5
Traits Acrobat, Combat Master, Group Fighter, Hero, Expert Block, Leader, Quick, Shield Rush, Unique

Is she playable at 164 points?

This Trait may be applied only to models with a maximum Q of 4 and C of 2. Models with Gang may perform Group Activations without the presence of a Leader. They still get a +1 to Q rolls if in range of a Leader and the bonus from Gregarious.
If a model in the Gang is Gruesomely Killed, however, all models in the Gang test Morale at -1.

Hi. Attention wandered for a bit, so wanted to see if I've missed it ...

Have the reaction rules settled? I'd like to try again. The idea appeals to me, but I'd like to have some assurance about a couple things:

1) slowing things down: I think not limiting will make this a bit faster. maybe not reacting when a turnover happens will help, too
2) increasing the high/low Quality gap: I'm afraid this will happen. Gang may help the goblins, but I don't want to need a special ability to balance the...

Here are a few scenarios that will be in the book. the first two are simpler. I am of course more interested in hearing from you testers about the others. I am writing more, if they will not fir in the book I will print them later in Talespinner or have them as free PDFs.

Skirmish
This is the simplest scenario. Players dice to determine attacker and defender. Players alternate placing four to eight scenic items (the defender decides how many) on the tabletop. No scenic feature can be larger...

We tried a three-player game yesterday. I'd said that we'd need to do without reactions, but my son was insistent that we would not. So, when one of my childhood-gaming friends came round, we decided just to keep reactions in and see how they worked. I thought about having the "non-active" players alternating for reactions, but decided that it would be too fiddly. Instead, we allowed both non-active players to react to each failure.

Here's the surprising thing: it worked just fine ....

Sometimes, rules in Fightin' Fungi reference other rules from other SOBH books. For example, the Tiny rule references Blast which is in Song of Deeds and Glory.

If I remove said references, i do a disservice to people wishing to use FiFu with other books.

If I leave the reference in FiFu, people will be puzzled ("where is this Blast trait that the rules mention here?)

What should I do? ("Put all the rules in a single book" is not an acceptable answer-- for many reasons, mainly...

Poison or Terror do not work on them .Non- magical ranged attacks against Undead models are at -2,

They r startiing to look veary strong if i am useing archers or have no magic users in the group .Any chance of a fire arrow upgrade to cancle out the -2 for archers or an enchant spell to upgrade all fungis weapons in range to count as magic for one turn this would change the roll of magic users to a surport job instead of attack or defence . A spell like this could backfire and set the archers...

We tried this out last night, along with the Gang, Shortbow and (new) Dashing rules. All seemed to work nicely. The game was a treasure hunt pitting night goblins and a bugbear against lizardmen with a dinosaur-rider (a GW cold one rider ridden by a lance-wielding lizardman). The profile for the dinosaur-rider was Q3, C4, Mounted, Trample, Dashing, Long Move.

This gave a pretty fearsome heavy-cavalry profile, but it "felt" right. In the past, we've given the dinosaur-rider Savage,...

When a figure with Low Kick moves into contact with a knocked down model he can perform a free hack.

Does this free hack get all the usual bonus' when attacking a knocked down model ie (+2 to it's combat and non-doubled kill)?
